an invitation to keep the feast
Part cookbook, part supper club, part story telling, Host Collective aims to bring people around the table. As amateur cooks, presbyterian ministers, and former hospitality industry workers, we bring a sacramental imagination to the world of food and hospitality. We hope that Host Collective will inspire you to open your kitchen and make room at your table. We believe the whole world is a banquet hosted by a gracious God. Let us keep the feast!
